Biography
Bernardo Prudencio Berro Larranaga was born in Montevideo, Uruguay on 28 April 1803 to a family of Spanish merchants. He served as a minister in Manuel Oribe's Blanco opposition government at Cerrito from 1845 to 1851, and he served as acting President from February to March 1852, when Juan Francisco Giro took power and awarded Berro with government positions. Berro went on to serve as President in his own right from 1860 to 1864, and he was influenced by the conservative democratic American model of government. In 1868, both he and Venancio Flores were assassinated when the Unitarios rose against the government.
